Question

Why has only one hurricane

been observed in the South Atlantic Ocean, whereas the North
Atlantic Ocean has had hundreds in the past century?

Answer 1

Rotation of earth that moves the winds from the north to right side and left in southern side.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The south Atlantic ocean has fewer weather phenomena and other disturbing events after the extremely rare hurricane of 2004 Hurricane Katrina, as most of thee occur in November and others mostly occurring in cold months.

• Whereas north Atlantic is home to various tropical as well temperature disturbances. As most of the conditions needed to form the cyclones and hurricane are present in the northern sphere were they can grow and develop.

• ITCZ surrounding the equator has strong winds that push and deflect the winds as wind shear doesn't occur in these zones.
